OUR ADVENT OF STEAMERS.

The steamers began to come to New
York about 1910. Or. DiOnysius Lardner,
an eminent English scientist, had de-
monstra,ed to the satisfaction OF the
multitude the absolute imposslblllty OF a
steamer crossing the Atlantic, on the as
sumption that no vessel could carry coal
enough for the trip. George Washington
tbouebt the Erie Canal an impOssiDiity,
and the government refused to pay as
small a sum as 800 900 tor the first line OF
telegraph between Baltimore and WASH
ington on the ground that 1t could not pay

House with the electric current that was

MARTINS FALL.
An Involuntary Plunge of I25 Fe.

An Involuntary Plunge of 125 Feet.
Another individual dropped from
the Brooklyn bridge Monday, but I'M
like the Jumpers" he did not want to
go. He fell l25 feet, and his escape
from death is the narrOwest on record.
James Martin, the boy who fell, is sew
enteen years old and has been doing
"chOres" on the iron network for the
boss painter Lambert, who is in charge
of gang of painters who are putting
a second coat of yellow paint on the
great bridge. The boy was carrying
two pots of color to the painters on the
highest part of the bridge. He sailed
along over the iron beams like a gym
mast, with ships and steamboats, Gid
ing under him. On reaching the paint
ers it was necessary for him to cross
the trunk of the cable railroad, and he
was in the act of stepping from the
trusses up to the railroad ties, when
his foot missed timber, and down he
went, whirling over and over, into the
yawning East river. Painters, pedes-
trians and trainmen shouted wildly as
he plunged into that far away abyss.
Near the spot where he disappeared in
the deep yellow tide the tug boat Cox
was churning the water into foam.
Fireman Donovan saw the whirling
body as it came down from the bridge
and in the twinkling of an eye he leap
ed overheard after the boy. In fact,
they almost went down together.
Young Martin was half doubled up
when he struck, and the spray dashed
as high as the top of the tugs smoke
stack. The boy was insensible, but
his body popped out of the river like
a cork. Before the fireman could reach
him he had gone down for the second
time, but when he arose for the last
time Fireman Donovan seized his hair
and managed to keep him atioat until
the tugboat hands pulled him on
board. In few minutes the half
drowned boy came to his senses. But
| he seemed in dream, and at first he
did not know where he was or what
had befallen him. He complained of a
pain in his chest, but he was able to
walk, and the tug landed him on a
| freight barge near the tower of the
bridge. By this time the bridge Off
GERS, several policemen and painters
had arrived, evidently expecting to
find the boy dead or dying. An am
bulance was sent for, and in about
twenty minutes Surgeon Kimball was
on the ground from the Chambers
street hospital. An examination re-
vealed that no bones were broken, and
the boy walked from the barge to the
ambulance, hundred feet away. His
left arm and hand were slightly bruis-
ed, and the skin broken in one place.
The boy said he had a pain in his
chest on the right side, but beyond
that he was not seriously injured.

do LEWIS, STORY.

The late Dio Lewis was very fond o
telling the following story:
A young lady came into his Office
one day looking rather grave ant
troubled.
"Doctor," said she, edo you not tlinl
am looking very old for twenty, ant
so thin, too - nothing but skin and
bones 7"
The doctor admitted that she was
right, that she did look rather old fol-
twenty.
"But, doctor, what can do 2" she
asked. "Can yOu not give me some
prescription 7"
"WOuld you be willing to take some
thing very bitter" asked the doctor.
eyes"
She would take anything if it would
only improve her looks. The doctor
told her it was very bad to take and
must be taken every night.
81 don't care how bad it is, what is
it qn
"The technical name of it is Bedi-
bus-nine- O'clOckibus."
"Bedibus- nine o'clockibus o, doc
tor, what an awful name"
ayes, it means you must go TO bed
every night before nine o'clock"
go, that is dreadful l thought it
was something to take"
"What time do you generally go to
bed 2"
"Generally about twelve o'clock"
81 thought so. Now if you will go
to bed every night for six months at
nine o'clock without making any
change in your habits, you will gain
ten pounds in weight and look five
years younger. Your skin will become
fresh and your spirits improve won
derfully." M
'1'll do it, though of course when l
have company"
at is regularity that does the bust
ness. To sit up till twelve o'clock
three nights in the week, and then go
to bed four nights at nine, one might
think would do very well. l don't
think this every other night early and
every other night late is much better
than every night late. 1t is regularity
that is vital in the case. Even sitting
up one night in the week deranges
the nervous system. Regularity in
sleep is every bit us important as reg
ularity in food"
The doctors arguments prevailed.
The lean patient suddenly exclaimed,
doctor, will go to bed every night
for six months before nine o'clock if it
kills me, or rather if it breaks the
hearts of all my friends"
She did it, gained twenty -one pounds
in five months, and found herself in
the very best possible health and
spirits, fresh and young looking, and
quite delighted with the new and sim
pie remedy, which she recommended
enthusiastically to all her friends.

Making Play of Work.

Many a mother will be glad to avail
herself of the following suggestion
given by writer i'm Good Housekeep-
ing:
Did you ever hit on this way to get
a cluttered sitting room put to rights
by the very little folks who have
brought about in it chaos itselfP The
children think it great fun to overturn
chairs, and hang rugs on them for tent
doors to strew the carpet with play
things and snippings of paper to drop
books, picture-c cards, building-blOcks,
and dolly and her wardrobe, just where
the newest tack of their latest play left
them but it is not always fun, either
for you or them, to get all this litter
and clutter picked up and cleared
away.
OF late we have made little game
of such work by giving each child so
many breadths of the carpet, and all
that might be upon them, to put in
perfect order. There are five breadths
in our sitting room carpet, and at such
a ''cOrner'' in the disOIderly state of the
room, | give two breadths-- not con-
secutive lengths-tO each of the two
older children, and the fifth breadth
to the little three year-Old, choosing
for her the strip of carpet that has the
least litter upon it. When little chill
dren have keen interest in such work
it is surprising how swiftly and deity
they will straighten rugs, fold papers,
pick up shreds and litter, and pack
away playthings.
The children are so quick to notice
and herald each others Oversights and
any slOvenlihess in this work of clear
ing sections of the room, that | have
any article or scrap left out of place.
Even the baby will trot across the
room to point reprOvingly to a wrink-
led rug, or an overlooked toy on a
strip of her little sisters territory, and
gravely say, "See there !" If a chair
or table, with its tumbled heap of books
or papers, stands on two carpet bread tbs,
the exacting little land holders require
each other to put to rights just such a
part as stands on their division of ter
ritOry, and the chair, basket, or stand,
l have seen the little tots good nat
uredly lug away together.

THE TRADE OF MARRIAGE.
The National Rerie,c.

The National Rerteto.
The usual retort, when women COM
plain of want of remunerative employ
ment, is that they should not work, but
find men to support them. AS there
are 500, 900 more women than men in
England it is obviously impossible
that every woman should have a hus-
band. This state of things is as bad
N Germany also. The prepOnderance
bf the women over the men is greatest
in the professional and upper middle
classes. Among the richer aristocracy
pf England, and the absolutely work.
ing people, the sexes are still equal in
humber, and women can still marry.
But the sons of clergymen, officers,
civil servants, lawyers, doctors, and
some of the country gentry find the
struggle for existence too great in this
kingdom they emigrate, or leave the
country by joining the military or
haval service. Their sisters all remain
10 home, unable to find husbands, and
bneducated for work, even domestic
work. These "supertiuous women" must

FThey are "charmers," but there is no

hat their chances of marriage are al

tency appear, they feel driven to ac-

Parents wish to get rid of them, so
hey marry without love. And evil
arises out of this, more CHASTITY than
oln be described. The marriage of
eOnvenance is a recognized social in
|etitutiOn abroad. In England, in this
bineteenth century, the women of the
upper middle classes adopt it without
acknowledging it. However we may
affect to deny it, there is a vast amount
10 married unhappiness in all classes.
The fault is sometimes ascribed to the
Present degeneracy of women and
sometimes to the deterioration of the
hen. The fault really lies in our So
|cial system, which gives a woman
neither work nor money and Obliges

Vermont seems to be the nearest
place to paradise for prOhibitiOnists.
There is not brewery in the state,
and the government collected taxes of
only $I225 last year for beer sold in
the state. 1t is even more of an idyl-
lie place for the dairy farmer. The
government did not collect a dollar in
the state last year for the manufacture
and sale of oleOmargarine, while the
factory towns of Rhode Island paid to
the federal treasury $64,27 last year
for an oleomargarine tax. The reve-
nue. district in which Chicago is situa-
ted paid to the government for OleO-
margarine taxes alone $260,9I0.
